Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi hospitalized in Iran after health crisis

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi was admitted to an Iranian hospital on Saturday in what was described as an unstable condition. According to a foundation managed by her family, the prize winner was transferred directly from prison following a severe and catastrophic deterioration of her health. The foundation characterized the medical emergency as a cardiac crisis, highlighting the urgent nature of her removal from prison to a hospital for treatment.[1][2]

The secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which awarded Mohammadi the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize, has expressed concern regarding her health status. This medical emergency occurred while she was being held in prison, leading to her transfer to a hospital once her condition was reported as unstable. The committee's reaction follows the announcement of her health decline by her family's foundation.[1][2]

According to the reports issued on Saturday, Mohammadi's health reached a critical point that necessitated her immediate transfer from prison. While the foundation run by her family identified the event as a cardiac crisis, the specific details of her current medical treatment have not been fully disclosed. Her condition was described as unstable following the catastrophic deterioration of her health.[1][2]
